I have a story about blacks.
So I have a simple physical task that needs doing - "Go to 1488 TND Lane , pick up heavy object, put in car, drive to there, put down heavy object." Exactly the kind of job black people are well suited for, so I hire some blacks. I schedule it out so they will not be working in the heat.
They say "I will be there with the heavy object at 9AM." Excellent.
10AM rolls around. "CMD sir, the heavy object is not here!"
"Where did you go?"
"1488 TMD Drive."
"No, go to 1488 TND Lane."
11 AM rolls around. "CMD sir, the heavy object is not here!"
"Where did you go?"
"1589 PND Lane in the town 1 hour away."
"No, go to 1488 TND Lane, in this town."
12 PM rolls around. It is getting hot.
"CMD sir, the heavy object is not here!"
"Where did you go?"
"1589 TND Lane."
"No, go to 1488 TND Lane."
1 PM rolls around. The heat is a genuine hazard to stand in. They are moving the extremely heavy object to there. They spend an hour exposed to the sun in the hottest possible conditions due to their stupidity.
Is this what slave drivers in the 1800s had to put up with every fucking day? I have no clue why anyone would tolerate owning slaves, when they could hire a white man - or honestly a man of any race other than black - to do the same job in a quarter of the time with far less hassle.
